I have worked with both single mode and multi mode fibre. The fibre is the same in the street as in the patch cords, as they must be the same diameter. On the other hand, the outside cable has a much tougher sheath, for physical strength, as well as more fibres in the bundle, which also makes it stiffer.
I don't have the training to handle fibre. But I know that that the people that installed mine at home, had to use some type of microscope to connect the external fibre, whereas the internal one they just plugged it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
